Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream
Hail the new arrival on
Static signs from a distant wanderer
Fill the air nights are never seen
Face the electric time shock now
No it's not a dream anymore

I will light the way for us to find
Order of a new kind
Join us on the stay the road is mine
Poets line in a rhyme of silence
Gathered from the winter air
Warms the children's eyes they see
The time is near for the signs

I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel its time
Come together hold the light
Keep the flame we can't let this world remain
the same

I can hear the chimes
Ringing for you for me
I can see your eyes
Your hands joining with me
I can feel it's time
It's time for the world to hear
Neue Regel is here

General CommentThe song is about web 2.0....Used to be called Longhorn but since since the Mexicans were stole citizenship they forced Microsoft to come up with spanish internet hence the lyrical reference 'come together hold the light" he's talking about sneaking across the border at night. "It's time for the world to hear" No way Regales es aqui

General CommentA clever anthem to "New Order"(english translation of the german Neue Regel) - that historical quest to create a utopian society. You do not need to be a good student of history to know every attempt at establishing new order has failed. Quite simply, the search for a new order is a fool's errand. How can imperfect people develop a perfect governing system for imperfect people? One can proclaim his group "superior," but we know what follows after that fantasy.

"Neue Regel" is the theoretical framework forged to bring a semblance of logic - that goes that word again! - to lighten the burden of the crimes and punishments ultimately necessary to implement a Utopia. Bottom line: there's nothing "new" to new order; it's merely semantic window dressing designed to disguise murder and madness.

General CommentActually I will post the true meaning of this song, as it brings a certain amount of mal-kharma to misinform the masses.

It points to the singularity and our hopes and dream of finding immortality with technology. This is ofcourse a false hope since reality would be quite different indeed(as outlined in NM156). This A technological singularity is a hypothetical event occuring when technological progress becomes very rapid due to positive feedback, making the future after the Singularity qualitatively different and hard to predict. It has been suggested that one will occur during the 21st century, and there are several mechanisms by which a singularity could occur.[1][2]

Vernor Vinge proposed that the creation of smarter-than-human intelligence would represent a breakdown in humans' ability to model their future. In the same way that a worse chess player cannot predict the next move of a better chess player, and less intelligent animals cannot predict the actions of humans, so too humans cannot predict the actions of more intelligent entities. He compared it to the breakdown of physics so that it cannot be used to model the space-time singularity beyond the event horizon of a black hole

My InterpretationI see this song as something of a cry to the spirit of technology to guide us into an unforseeable future. The idea that at some point Moore's Law will get away from us and technology will become a higher form of life than ours is pertinent both here and in Screaming in Digital, the album's tenth track. But while there we see technology escaping our grasp already, here we have the call to arms (so to speak) to lead humanity into this new and glorious age of technocracy.
